QUEEN VICTORIA's example of thrift
should not be lost upon her admirers. A
series of dinners are to be given to the
various orders Of Knights at St. James
palace in honor of the jubilee, but, lest
this hospitality should exceed the bounds
warranted by her limited income, each
knight is notified that he is expected to
pay certain sum for his seat. That is,
call come and enjoy yourselves at your
own expense" After this newspaper re-
porters will please drop "entertained
most royalty" from their reportorial vo-
cabularY, as the public prefers "repubIi-
can hospitality"

SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.

/ SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
The executive committee of the Texas
State Sunday School Association (unde-
! nominationaD have called the next, be-
ing the twelfth annual convention of the
association, to convene at Tyler, Smith
county, on the 10th, 18th and 18th of May
next, commencing On Tuesday the 10th,
at O'Clock p. m. In issuing the call,
John S. Mccoy, state secretary of the
association, says: every Sunday
school organization in the state, IRE
spective of denomination, is entitled to
be represented IN said convention, by one
delegate, and to On additional delegate for
every 100 in membership or fraction thereof
over fifty. 1t is of exceeding Importance
to the Sunday-school interest of the
state, that this. convention be
largely represented from all parts
of the state; besides it will be a
most enjoyable and profitable occasion to
those who may attend. You are there
fore most earnestly requested to elect
your quota Of delegates Immediately, to
attend said convention, and forward their
names with the names Of any other per-
sons whom you know will attend, to Rev.
II. M. DuBose, Tyler, Tex. Urge all you
can to go to said convention, whether g
delegate or not. Tyler has most cordially
invi ed the convention-she is a beautiful
little city, centrally located, of easy &C
cess, and noted for her intelligence, re
noWned public men, her moral and re-
.1igious influences, and generous hospi-
tality.
In this connection allow me to state, for
the benefit of those who may not know,
that the object of this association is for
the purpose of promoting efficiency in
Sunday-schoOIs in this state. 1t is I'M
UNCONVENTIONAL in It's character, and is
auxiliary to the International Sunday
school Association, which embraces the
United States and British provinces, and
from which issues the uniform lesson sys-
tenn now in operation throughout the
Sunday-school world. So all denomina-
lions are interested in it, and benefited
by it. They should sustain and sup
port it, for it is the common work of all;
the exclusive work of none. Our repre-
sentation as a state in the International
Association depends upon it, for de-
nominations as such have no such repre-
sentation. Texas cannot afford to be
without representation in the great Sun
day-school system OF the world. Our
county organizations, for the purpose OF
extending and making more efficient the
Sunday school work, depends upon it,
and are auxiliary to it. Hence the state
organization must be kept up"

A LADY writing to the Chicago Inter
Ocean of woman suffrage, says: "Should
woman suffrage be sprung trap-like upon
us by outside issues, as was negro suf-
frage, we should find ourselves, sudden
ly, "out upon the ocean sailing" and
women will be called upon to do battle
with many serious questions that will
then take shape and form. There are
vulnerable places that need strengthening
and protecting, and the 'fair sex" must
learn to do battle from new and
very different standpoint. If
any one doubts this truth, let
him watch the machinery of
public life as 1t presents itself in Wash
ington city. Throwing men and women
together as day laborers is certainly a
test Of integrity and high moral purpose.
Watching the firtations of gray-haired
men and maidens, and listening to the
vacillating "small TALK that is of daily
occurrence in these public places, we
have often asked ourselves the question,
is there future time when woman will
be developed to such degree of excel
lence that she can not be ensnared into
the degradation of breaking hearts and
running home circles?"

A Drummer Who Cannot Write.


"Down in Missouri the other day." said
a drummer, :" came across one of the
queerest cases I ever heard OF. 1t was q
commercial traveller who can neither read
nor write. He is one OF the Asndsomest
and livelIest fellows l ever met, and Al
talker, but he can't read five words and
can barely write his own name. Besides,
he doesn't want to learn. When his
customers give him orders ne has them
write out lists of the goods they desire,
and such letters as he has to get off he
coaxes hotel clerks and other travelling
men to write for him. He is lightning
salesman, too, and one of the most popu-
lar men in his territory"

New FIGURING Mills for Lswisville.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
LEwIsvILLE, Tex, April 19.-An i'm
promptu meeting was had this evening,
preliminary to organizing a stock COM
panY to build Touring mills at this place.
1t was decided that the capital STOCK
should not exceed 100000, and that the
company would commence Operations as
soon as $12, 900 should be subscribed.
The capacity is to be seventy-fye to 100
barrels per day. Four thousand, three
hundred dollars was promptly subscribed
by the few present. 1t seems certain that
we will at the earliest have mills equal if
not superior to those recently totally de-
strOyed

The Rains GeneraI-Ths Country Fun of
ProspeotOrs-Che Irrigation Scheme Not
Dead.
Correspondence of the Gazette.
PECOs CITY, TEX, April 19.-From
reliable reports it is learned that the late
rains have been general. Parties from
Fort Stockton and down the river say
they have had good rains. The river (Pe-
cos was within two feet OF the top of the
banks yesterday, which confirms the re-
ports of the rains above, which extended
into New Mexico. The rainfall, com
mencIns as it has, two months earlier
than last and previous years, is a good
indication of a favorable season and ean
assurance OF early pasturage, and the
stockmen and farmers are corresponding
ly happy-the former particularly so, as
their stock have passed the winter and
have come out in much better shape than
heretofore. The ominOus clouds of ad-
versity have lifted and the bright sun of
prosperity is shedding its genial rays Ger
Pecosites and their neighbOrs.
A good many prospeCtors from various
sections are and have been here looking
after the lands bordering on the river
since the Legislature has placed them on
the market, and the present Indications
are that the most of the Watered lands
will be taken up by actual settlers before
the year closes. IF the PeCOs River Irriga-.
ton Company would start their canal this
valley would have boom that never was
anticipated blythe most sanguine residents.
We understand that very liberal propO-
sitiOn has already been prOffered them,
and that the company has it under ad-
visement, and we sincerely trust the
proposition will be accepted. BY so doing
they will place this valley beyond the IN
certainty of legislative Indulgence. The
success and feasibility of the project is
as certain of being remunerative as
"night follows day" Take our sister
states and territories for an example. 1t
is well known fact that the lands of
Pecos valley, for prOduCtiyeness and
climatic advantages cannot be beat. And
now is the time for those who are
DESTROYS of securing q good home for
themselves and little ones to DO so, as
the watered lands of PeCOs valley offer
inducements rarely extended.
We have seen parties Just in from Van
Horn, and they report the mining pros
poets good. The San Antonio company
are down $50 feet and are in high grade
ore which they are shipping. The own
ers were out there last week and after g
thorough examination they expressed
themselves more than satisfied with the
results. They are at present working
twenty men. Mr.. c.. brought in some
fine samples from new find.

TIE MEN OF SO.
SHAWAiUT

Make bare the head, Uncovered stand,
Before these men in gray,
Who gave to the world fair Texas,
This glorious April day.
When side By side they took the field,
Disdained the suppliant knee,
And tore the Clone Star from its thrall,
And gave 1t to the free.
When filed with strength and pride o
might,
Erect they stood and gave
Defiance to the hosts opposed,
DeiaRce to the grave.
Then met the Wanting, insolent foe
On n JacintO's plain,
And VIII eeled an empire into line
With earth's imperial train.
Before the years had bowed the frame
And dimmed the fiery eye;
Before the springs of gen'rOus youth
Grew ChOked and paIChed and dry;
Before the frosts of ruthless tire
Their black locks white had turned,
Their manhood won the laurel crown,
And hope within them burned.
But now the bays have wIthered grown,
The fires of nope burn low
And one by one our gallant sires,
With solemn step and slow,
Are marching to the rendezvous
OF comrade, friend and chief,
Obedi5nt to the summons dread
OF death, the last relief.
With each year the hOnored roll-call
Grows fainter, dearer, less,
TIL soon there'll naught be left US but
Their memory to bless.
Then to the skies memorials rear,
To souls departed, fled;
And blaZOn on amOnums mt
And grant the s6nse ess dead
The words of praise and honor, dear
To warriors everyW here,
Which should have sunk in living hea ts
When heroes bore them here.

THE T. d; P.'lS MEXICAN TRADE.
Judge Pardee's recent order exempting
the Texas and Pacific Railroad from COM
pliance with the provisions of sec
ton of the interstate commerce
law continues to excite comment
and criticism in Texas railway
circles, that is, the lines touching or
terminating at Ell Paso. 1t should be
borne in mind that the exemption does
not apply to other freights than those
to or from Ell Paso. There are sew
eral lines of road besides the Texas and
Pacific that run into Ell Paso, and as
these lines do not share the same
advantages as the Texas and Pacific the
latter Of course will enjoy, for the time
being at least, monopoly of Mexican
freights which must enter the sister
republic by way of FL Paso. Quite
naturally the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific
people are disgruntled over Judge
Pardee's action, which they say
absolutely estops them from handling
Mexican freights to Ell Paso, and fur
nishes the Texas and Pacific clear field
will be one of the earliest and knottiest
problems Judge Cooley and his COnfreres
of the commission will have to solve, as
it is hardly 10 be expected the roads
placed at such disadvantage will sit still
and put up with the situation without q
protest and active efforts to procure
different state Of affairs. Thus, we see
that one of the first effects of the new
law, in this state, is to put three powerful
systems of railroads at loggerheads, two
Of them alleging that the third is a re-
cipient of favors that are not equally or
equitably distributed. 1t must be urged,
however, in defence of Judge Pardee's or
der, that the receivers of the Texas and
Pacific made very strong presentation
of the interests involved and affected by
the operations of section 4 of the law, if
said section (Which is the "lOng and short
haul" section) should apply to the road.
The receivers show that of $4,000, 600
p unds of freight transported into Ell
Paso during 1886, SO, 900, 900 pounds were
consigned directly to points in Mexico.
What is feared by the receivers is that if
required to conform their through rates
to the strict requirements of the law they
cannot compete with European freights
to Mexico, which go by sea to Vera Cruz
and thence over the English railway, 2s0
miles long, to the City of Mexico. By
reason of the Texas and Pacific and it's
connections, American manufacturers and
merchants have been enabled to build up
s large and steadily increasing trade with
Mexico. Nearly all these shipments go
over the Texas and Pacific to FL Paso.
If the rates are to be raised
higher than existing figures, the Texas
and Pacific must not only see its business
fall Off TO degree that will be unremu
nerative, but the American traders and
manufacturers will also be compelled to
surrender their Mexican trade, built up
by energy and cheap rates over the Texas
and Pacific, to- FRENCH and English mer-
chants, who will utilize the cheap water
route to Vera Cruz. These, in brief, are
the arguments that decided Judge Pardee
to grant the petition and issue his order,
